Routine visit to family doctor today for checkup. Told him about my left lower leg swelling tightly a few weeks ago, then becoming normal again. Calf still very sore to touch. Foot numb for a few weeks now. Tight sensation under right breast and shortness of breath. Had a day and half of sharp pain in this region couple of weeks ago.
He came to the sensible conclusion that this was all related and that a blood clot in left leg had gone into right lung. Sent me to emergency room post haste.
After almost all day of x-rays, multiple blood tests, two EKG's, and sonograms on left leg, the conclusion was, no blood clot. Probably left leg problems due to my continuing back problems and chest probably a residual thing from a viral infection. But, could be cardiac.
Knowing my family doctor, he will not rest until something definitive is decided. I hope it doesn't run over into dates for Blade.
In any case, if I make Blade it will be with the aid of a power chair due to my back problems. Dang, those things make me feel old.
Heck, with my 70th birthday on June 11, I am getting old. If I make it, take it easy on the feeble old geezer at the trough.
